Yoshi is a green dinosaur who stars in various Nintendo games, and is a good buddy of Mario. He has courage, a warm heart, and a massive appetite. He can use his long tongue to eat anything - fruit and cookies are some of his favourite delicacies. His homeland of Yoshi's Island is populated with even more Yoshis, all in loads of different colours!

Yoshi first appeared in the game Super Mario World, released in 1990. We've come a long way since then!

Yoshi's Island is filled with Yoshis of all colours. They coexist in peace and happiness, standing together when things get rough.

When Yoshi isn't out on an adventure, he likes to relax, train up in Smash Bros. battles, and go kart racing.
